He's got everything working tonight. Fastball at 96-97. Good change. Great slider.

He's got some pinpoint control tonight so far. And he's throwing hard.

Gio's got some zip tonight.

Jimmy would have made more sense if they didn't trade for Porter.

These umpires are so ass. Two blatant missed calls in the past 2 innings.

Great inning for Renteria. First he had his best hitter bunt and then doesn't know the rules of replay.

This is why replay still sucks. I swear we always get screwed by replay.

The actual drawing happens an hour before the announcement. So it should be in about another hour.

Look what one off week did to Anderson's average and OPS. Walks don't slump Greg. But bats do. If Tim wants to be a consistent and complete hitter, he needs to walk more. 3-5% walk rates aren't gonna get it done unless he hits .300.

lol looks like we got a Cubs fan on the board.

I like Sanders too. Unfortunately, I don't think he's gonna last till the 87th pick. I wouldn't have an issue with trading up for him. As long as it's a fair deal.

There goes 4 more million we could have given to Machado.

How many work places let you do this?

I think he meant to say it was Escobar who got traded after that eye black debacle.

Yeah, straight people calling other people fa***ts is not the same as a black person calling a white person the N word. Please don't try to equate those things.

I guess I was thinking about something like this in the case where somebody would say it in a work environment. If I said anything racially derogatory at work, I'd probably get a call from HR regardless of my race. Whether or not they do anything about is another thing. But come to think of it, if I told someone to go fuck themselves, I'd definitely get punished by HR. Whereas Kyle Schwarber (the most recent example of this) got no added punishment from MLB.

I think it's fine to for MLB to disallow it, but they need to be clear on it and set boundaries. But to set a precedent like this against a black player, on Jackie Robinson week, and over an incident where said player was wrongfully ejected for basically doing nothing wrong just looks so bad it's mind-numbing.

Yikes.

And this instance is a terrible time and place to decide that. I don't think I need to spell the optics of this out to you.

And you wonder why there's not a lot of African Americans in pro baseball. This kind of just adds to it.

Only baseball would suspend a black man calling a white man the n word.

Joe West is basically a dirty cop at this point.

Yeah but I doubt they go back and look at video to look for it. MLB is so out of touch.

Oh boy only MLB would suspend a black person for saying the N word.

Managers swear at umpires all the time after getting tossed. Getting suspended for language is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
